Neopets The Castle of Eliv Thade

The Castle of Eliv Thade is a Neopets puzzle game which involves solving puzzles in the form of anagrams in order to proceed. It is a point and click where you have to try and reach the end of the game without losing all of your lives. In The Castle of Eliv Thade, you are awarded points depending on how quickly you move and what letter words of the anagrams you chose to solve.

The Castle of Eliv Thade: Introduction

A long time ago there was a Kacheek named Eliv Thade, whose fixation on riddles and enigmas was surpassed only by his aptitude in solving them. He died with the knowledge of there being one riddle he could never tackle, and so to this day this continues to frequent the castle in which he once lived.

While lost in the Haunted Woods one dark and stormy night, an Usul called Gilly takes cover in the disintegrating old stronghold. However, in order to leave this place, she has a crazy, riddle-loving apparition to battle with…

The Castle of Eliv Thade: Game Play

contestant72-8320006In the game The Castle of Eliv Thade, your task is to guide Gilly as she investigates the estate. If you click on a story tile positioned within the three tiles surrounding Gilly, this will make Thade show up with a re-arranged word to be solved in order to reach the end of the game.

This anagram that you receive is different depending on the level of difficulty that is selected at the beginning of the game, as well as the amount of tiles you’re attempting to move. For example, if you’re on the easy setting (Scaredy Cat), then if you want to move one tile you’ll need to solve a 4-letter word; moving two tiles will mean you need to rearrange a 5-letter word; and moving three files means you’ll need to rearrange a 6-letter word. In comparison, on the hard level (called Super Brave), you’ll get given 5 letter words to move one tile, 6 letter words for two tiles, and 7 letter words for three tiles, which utilises a more difficult set of vocabulary.

The end goal in The Castle of Eliv Thade is to explore all four of the castle’s rooms. In each of these is an item which you need to collect.

When you start the game you’ll see that the rooms look slightly greyed out. They will turn to full colour once you’ve explored them and finished the level. Finally, after you’ve collected the four objects from their respective rooms, you can go to the crypt located in the lower right side of the screen in order to receive one last anagram. This will be 7 letters on Easy and 8 letters on Difficult. This is the end of the game.

(If you’re looking to play the game quickly, there is a secret route from the library that is in the top right of the screen straight into the crypt – see the Neopets The Castle of Eliv Thade Cheats section below for more information.)

You are given three lives from the start of the game. On the occasion that you give a wrong response for a re-arranged word during the course of any of the levels, you lose a life.

You can likewise lose one of your lives if you land on one of the broken tiles; the chance of them breaking is 50%. Therefore, you should avoid stepping on these whenever possible. To pass these broken tiles, move to the tile that is directly beside it, then once you’ve answered that anagram select the tile on the opposite side of the split ones.

DID YOU KNOW…. The Castle of Eliv Thade is also an anagram! Rearranged, it spells ‘The Castle of Evil Death’.

The Castle of Eliv Thade: Scoring

To win points, you must answer the anagrams correctly. You must also collect all of the items in the rooms. The amount of points awarded per move depends firstly on the difficulty level you’re playing – whether it’s easy (Scaredy Cat) or hard (Super Brave) – and the amount of tiles you’re trying to move in one turn.

If you are trying to achieve a high score or an avatar, you should aim to play on the hard setting. For every answer you give, you’ll be awarded nearly double the amount you would have been awarded in easy. Additionally, the anagrams you are given will only be slightly more difficult to solve.

For every 1 tile you move in a turn and anagram solved, you will get 1 point added to your score in Easy; you will get 2 points in Hard.

For every 2 tiles you move in a turn and anagram solved, you will get 3 points added to your score in Easy; you will get 5 points in Hard.

For every 3 tiles you move in a turn and anagram solved, you will get 6 points added to your score in Easy; you will get 10 points in Hard.

For every item you collect, you’ll get 50 points. You will need to collect all four items in order to send your final score to Neopets; therefore, the score of 200 points total is easy to score.

Additionally, if you beat the game you’ll get a whooping 350 points for beating the game, which is 150 points for answering the last anagram, 50 to enter the crypt area, and 150 extra when you send the score. (You’ll get these points added automatically when you send your score, so don’t worry if you don’t see them at first).

There are several strategic methods for getting the highest score possible through this game format so that you can get the avatar with 1200 points or so you can get even higher for a trophy. You can also use the Hint button to help you get the highest score possible, although this has a limited use; see below for more details.

Tips

Neopets the Castle of Eliv Thade will give you the opportunity to control a character, named Gilly, which is a Kacheek and you will have to step in an old castle. In order to do that, you will have to click on any square on the ground. The maximum tiles you can move by is three, and you will be awarded with more points than if you decide to move by two or by one tile. The reason for that is because the anagrams will be longer then, thus raising the chance of you making a mistake. You will also have the choice of choosing the difficulty of your choice. The easy difficulty will give you, upon moving by one tile, a four lettered anagram. Moving by two tiles will result in a 5 letter anagram and finally, three tiles will result in a 6 letter long anagram. The second difficulty is the hard one. If you pick that difficulty and decide to move with the Kacheek by one til, you will be given a five lettered anagram. Two tiles will result in a six lettered anagram and the maximum move, meaning three tiles will result in a seven lettered anagram. You will see a lot of Neopet’s related names, along with dictionary names. If you think that you will not be able to play this game, there are good news for you in the Neopets the Castle of Eliv Thade Strategy & Cheats section at the end. Note that it is recommended that you play in hard mode if you are going after a high score or after a trophy, because of the 7 lettered words. Making a wrong answer will result in a life loss. You have a total of three lives during the game. Also, if you step on a cracked tile ( on the ground ) you can also lose a life. It has fifty percent chance of cracking though, so you can be lucky and not fall in it. Try to avoid playing with luck and move by three tiles when you see a floor that is fragile.

The castle contain four rooms, where your main objective will be to visit all of them and pick up the items you will find inside. When you will have collected all of these items, you will be able to take the crypt at the right of the screen to finish the game. This one will give you the hardest anagram to complete, meaning a eighth letter one on hard (7 letters if you’re playing on easy mode). After completing that last anagram, the game will end. If you are going after points, keep moving forward and backward to avoid finishing the game quickly and thus getting more points. There is a secret path though, that is located on the top right of the screen to access the crypt. You will always be able to use a cheat that will get you all the anagrams solved in no time, with no efforts, and it can be found below in the cheats section. If you do not want to cheat, though, and want to complete the anagrams by yourself there will be also few strategies offered to you. Don’t waste your hints for nothing though, only use them when you really need them. Below will also be a cheat code for you to use, for an extra hint! The items that will be offered for you to take from the rooms are respectively the Grimoire of Thade, the Sword of Skardsen, the Amulet of Thilg and finally, the Shield of Pion Troect.

Score & Points

First of all, you will have to know that points are based on the difficulty you are currently on. If you do not want to waste a high amount of time on this game when going after the avatar, a high score or for a trophy, you are better using the hardest difficulty unless the waste of time is not a problem for you. The hardest difficulty, meaning Super Brave, will give you almost the double of the points you would have gotten for the easy difficulty, but the anagrams will be, obviously, more complicated. It is not a problem though, we can provide cheats that will get you the score of your choice! Now, get to know your points.

If you decide to move by one tile during the easy difficulty, you will be awarded with a total of one point, and by two points on the Super Brave difficulty (hard). Two tiles on easy will grant you three points on easy and five points on Hard difficulty. Finally, if you decide to move by the maximum amount of tiles, meaning by three, you will be awarded by a total of six points on the easy difficulty and by ten points for the hardest one. The points scoring system is the reason that we recommend you using the hardest difficulty if you’re going after a high score because you will also have less chance of losing lives (because each one gives you more points).

Basically, as you already know, you will have to get all of the items mentioned before, before you are able to enter the crypt and send your score. Each of these items will give you a total of 50 points, meaning 200 total. If you successfully master and beat the game, you will be given 350 points. These points are divided by categories, meaning 50 for entering the crypt, 150 for solving the crypt anagram, and finally you will receive a 150 point bonus when you send your score. You will not see these points (150) on your total score, you will only be able to receive them when you successfully send in your score. That means you will be given a hell lot of points, so be grateful that this game is easier that you might think!

Moving forward and backward is the key for those who are going after a super high score, the avatar, or after a trophy. Using this method will give you the amount of points you are looking for. You can get unlimited points, too but your score is likely to never get accepted. TNT will only review and accept scores that are near 5,000 points. A total of 850 points minimum will be needed before you enter the crypt if you’re going after the avatar. That means a total of 650 points must come from anagrams, because the items alone will give you 200 points freely.

Neopets the Castle of Eliv Thade Strategy

All strategies are good. A good one is to solve the anagrams by looking, firstly at the ending of the words and at their prefixes plus suffixes. Go after common words and you should be fine. It is not guaranteed that you will also come up with the correct word, but most of them will be guessed correctly. Note that this game is in English only, so you will not be able to use a different one to get other words. Look at words that end by ing, er, ed and similar endings because many of the will have an ending with those letters. Typing “rehaxtint” will give you another hint for you to use

Finally, as mentioned above, there is a trick that will let you solve almost any of the anagrams, and it is by using a program, named the anagram solver. All you will have to do is to select the hard (or easy) difficulty, and everytime you get an anagram, you simply copy and paste the words in the anagram solver, then it will magically give you the correct word. To get the anagram solver, simply go on Google and type in:
“the Castle of Eliv Thade Anagram Solver” and voila, many will be offered for you to use at absolutely no cost. It is free and will get you any score. Remember to stay near the 5,000 mark because otherwise, TNT will not accept your score.

Neopets The Castle of Eliv Thade Cheats

Getting more points for a higher score

  • If you are looking to get a score that’s good enough to get you an avatar or even a trophy, then you need to play the game in a slightly more strategic way. You’ll need to first collect all four of the items, and then come back to the first hallway, positioned on the lower half of the screen. This hallway leads straight to the crypt, but don’t worry about this for now. Instead, focus on walking around this hallway back and forth. In this safe area, you can get extra points added to your score without concern for cracked tiles. The avatar is 1200 points; therefore, all you need to do is get 850 points by the time you enter the crypt (because you’ll get 350 points at the end on finishing the game)

Hints

  • There is a hint button if you are having extra difficulty rearranging any particular word. This will help you to see the first letter of this word. If you are having extra difficulty with any given word, by pressing the hint button repeatedly you can spell out the world one letter at a time. You will only have three hints at the beginning of the game. However, as you progress through the rooms, you will get one more hint for every room that you enter. Therefore, you can get up to seven hints in total by the end.
  • This last point in regards to having 7 hints can be extremely helpful if you spend a lot of the time getting extra bonus points up to the score of 850 for the avatar, but then you’re completely flummoxed by the final anagram in the crypt! If you did happen to keep all 7 of the hints for whatever reason, this would give you a fullproof way of solving the final anagram. However, this depends on your game play and how you proceed through the levels to whether you have any hints left by the end.
  • An extra hint can be received through a secret cheat code! Use the code ‘rehaxtint’ whilst you’re playing the game to get this hint. If you want to use this code to get an extra hint while you’re in the middle of rearranging a word, click on the outside of the text field used to answer the anagram before typing your code.

Solving the anagrams

  • One great way of solving anagrams is to look for common prefixes and suffixes. In The Castle of Eliv Thade – as well as in other games! – common prefixes you’ll find include un- and re-. Common suffixes you will come across in the course of the game include -ing, -ed, -e and -ly; additionally, if you see a letter ‘y’ in an anagram, it’s best to start from the basis that this will be at the end of the word! This is very common.
  • Another great tip is to look for common arrangements that you’ll find in words. One surprising example of this if you haven’t solved anagrams before is that it’s very common for there to be double letters in words. This is where you’ll have two of the same letter next to each other (for example, as seen in common, letter, and rearrange). Therefore, it might help in your game play if you take this as your starting point and look at putting identical consonants next to each other first of all, if you have two or more of the same letter appear in an anagram, in order to decipher the anagrams in front of you.
  • If you see the letter h, there are quite a few common consonant arrangements that go with this, such as gh, th, sh and ch. So try these consonant combinations in order to maximise your chances of solving the anagrams.
  • Often when you are playing, particularly if you’re on the hard setting, you will come across words that aren’t ‘real words’. These will be words that are only see on Neopets and that refer to something on Neopia. There are several resources you can use in order to decipher these, such as Neopets dictionaries floating around the Internet. JellyNeo have helpfully made an Eliv Thade anagram solver for Neopets words. This can help you get through the harder words where you’re stumped on answering them. You can access the Eliv Thade anagram solver at the following link: http://www.jellyneo.net/?go=elivthade
  • Additionally to this anagram finder, you can use the following one to solve the other non-Neopian ones: http://anagram.awardspace.com/ If you’re playing through the game using only anagram finders, it may be best to start with the Neopets one (particularly if you’re playing the harder setting) then move onto the general one if you have no luck with this one.

Miscellaneous Cheats and Tips

  • Wherever possible, try to avoid the broken tiles when you can. 50% chance isn’t that great of a chance when you’re trying to make it to the end of the game!
  • If you’d like to avoid cracked tiles wherever possible, there is a hallway at the bottom of the game which you can walk along in order to avoid them.
  • You can find two secret passages in the game. These can be found by clicking on the hidden tiles between the room you’re in and the room you want to go to. For where these hidden passages can be found and how to get through to the other side, see the guide here to help you out: http://www.thedailyneopets.com/neopets-games/castle-evil-thade – remember, you’ll have to answer an anagram on each of these spaces in order to get through. Also, you cannot enter the Crypt until you’ve collected the items from the other four rooms.

The Castle of Eliv Thade: Avatars and Trophies

You will need to achieve at least 1200 points in order to get the Eliv Thade avatar.

If you’re starting late in a month, you should aim at least 4x this amount in order to get a trophy (although it’s always best to aim for trophies at the beginning of the calendar month).

As a single circuit around the whole Castle of Eliv Thade will only get you around 500-600 points, you’ll therefore need to backtrack a lot and play over old ground for a long time in order to get a high score. However, this shouldn’t be a problem if you’re using anagram finders and if you don’t lose all your lives; it just takes time! Remember, play on hard if you’re aiming for a trophy or avatar, as those extra points count!

Neopets Scourge of the Lab Jellies

Neopets Scourge of the Lab Jellies is a puzzle game where you have a large grid that fills with multiplying jellies. You need to match them in rows to destroy them before they overwhelm the grid. If you earn a high score in Scourge of the Lab Jellies, you might earn a trophy.

Gameplay Guide

 

Basics

 

There is no end to this game, so the only objective you have is to get points and keep the game going as long as possible. You start the game with a few jellies on the screen. You click on a jelly and then on an empty space to move that jelly to that spot. If you put five or more jellies of the same colour in a row (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal), they will explode, and you will be awarded points: 50 points for the five, plus another 20 points for each extra jelly that was in the same combo.

Now, you might be thinking, “This is easy!” But every time you move a jelly, three new jellies appear somewhere on the grid. That’s why it’s impossible to finish the game: it’s literally impossible to clear all of the jellies.

Also, jellies can’t always go where you want them to go. For instance, take a look at the image above. There’s a vertical line of jellies spanning from the top of the grid down to the bottom. A jelly left of that line can’t go to the right side of the line, and vice versa. The more jellies you have on your screen, the harder it is to clear the jellies, so the screen will just get more full, and more full… until it’s full and you lose.

The further you are in the game, the more types of jellies there are. When you begin a game, there are only four types of jellies; later on, there will be at least ten.

 

Special Pieces

 

There are three things that, like jellies, will appear on the board randomly after you make a move. They don’t show up as often as the regular jellies, but you’ll still see them nearly every game.

 

guide_labjellies_03-7692134The Rainbow Jelly looks like this, except it changes colour rapidly. This jelly can be used to a complete a combo with any regular type of jelly. Just line up four regular jellies (yellow, red, blue, it doesn’t matter), and then put this next to them too, and they’ll all explode. This jelly will always give forty points when it explodes, unlike regular jellies.

 

guide_labjellies_01-5672875The bomb, like a normal bomb, explodes. The number at the bottom right corner of the bomb tells you how many turns there will be before it explodes. When it explodes, every jelly within three squares of it (only the ones in horizontal, vertical, or diagonal lines with it, though) will explode. Bombs can give you quite a few points – up to 370 points.

 

guide_labjellies_02-6354721Stones are permanent objects that appear on the grid. Once it shows up, it’s not going away unless it’s caught in a bomb blast. It’s the only thing in the game that can’t help you in any way; it just served to impede your progress.

 

Strategy

 

So in order to get a high score, you need to explode your jellies often enough that the grid doesn’t fill up so quickly. Well, what you should do is explode as many jellies as possible in the fewest turns, so the game can last longer, and you can continue to score points.

At the beginning of the game, you should focus on making rows of five, and try as much as possible to keep the jellies filling up too much of the petri dish. Basically, you should take jelly from large groups of mismatched ones to form rows, rather than the jellies that are standing alone by themselves. You should also try to make rows from jellies that have already begun to form lines by the way they’ve appeared on the petri dish, so that it will take fewer moves to make an exploding line.

When the jellies are present on about a third of the grid, you should continue to make rows and try to keep the jellies from creating “road blocks.” Road blocks are rows of non-matching jellies that prevent the jellies from going where you need them to go. You can try to avoid this by exploding jellies near the center of the petri dish, to have the maximum amount of unobstructed movement.

Neopets Petpet Cannonball

Neopets Petpet Cannonball is a game where you shoot petpets out of a cannon and through a bucket. If you manage to see the angles of your shots well enough to get a high score, Petpet Cannonball will reward you with this shiny trophy.

553_1-6505510

 

How to Play

 

Basics

To move your cannon up or down, press the up or down arrow keys; to fire, press the space bar. If you hold down the space bar, your petpet will be shot out with more power the longer you hold it. The higher your cannon is aimed, the more power you’ll need, and the longer you need to hold down the space bar.

You start with ten lives; with every petpet you shoot that doesn’t make it into the bucket that you’re aiming for, you lose a life. Every time a petpet goes into the bucket, though (sliding down the mast and off the screen), you’ll gain a life. You can’t have more than ten lives at a time, though.

 

Petpets

 

There are six different petpets, each weighing a different amount and giving a different amount of points after going into the bucket.

 

buzzer_pirate-8194512The Buzzer weighs 0.8 kg and awards the least amount of points.

 

slorg_pirate-1155644The Slorg weighs 0.9 kg and awards slightly more points than the Buzzer.

 

babaa_pirate-2452282The Babaa weighs 1.0 kg and awards slightly more points than the Slorg.

 

faellie_pirate-7326580The Faellie weighs 1.2 kg and awards slightly more points than the Babaa.

 

tenna_pirate-3388557The Tenna weighs 1.3 kg, is the rarest of all the petpets, and awards significantly more points than any of the others.

 

angelpuss_pirate-1333987The Angelpuss weighs 1.4 kg and awards slightly more points than the Faellie.

 

petpet_snowbunny_pirate-2235283The Snowbunny weighs 1.5 kg and awards slightly more points than the Angelpuss.

 

Levels & Points

 

There are eight different levels in Petpet Cannonball, but the objective in each level is the same: shoot the petpets through the bucket. Unfortunately, this becomes harder each time you move on, because each time, the bucket is higher, your cannon is in a different spot, and the power of your shot increases faster as you hold down the space bar.

 

You move on from one level to the next by successfully shooting three petpets into the bucket. One shot out of the three is always very easy, because the game will show you a dotted line as you hold the space bar down on your first shot in each level.

 

Once you make the third successful shot in Level Eight, the game will end; if you make it that far, though, you need to get one last petpet into the bucket as the game is ending to get a high score.

 

buzzer_pirate-8194512The Buzzer is worth 10 points in the first level, and its points increase by 5 each level afterward. So 7 levels later, in the eighth and final level, it’s worth 45 points.

 

slorg_pirate-1155644The Slorg is worth 1 point more than the Buzzer in each level. In level 1, it gives 11 points; in the final level, it gives 46.

 

babaa_pirate-2452282The Babaa is worth 1 point more than the Slorg in each level (and 2 points more than the Buzzer). In the first level, it gives 12 points; in the final level, it gives 47.

 

faellie_pirate-7326580The Faellie is worth 1 point more than the Babaa in each level. In the first level, it gives 13 points; in the final level, it gives 48.

 

angelpuss_pirate-1333987The Angelpuss is worth 1 point more than the Faellie in each level. In the first level, it gives 14 points; in the final level, it gives 49.

 

petpet_snowbunny_pirate-2235283The Snowbunny is worth 1 point more than the Angelpuss in each level. In the first level, it gives 15 points; in the final level, it gives 50.

 

tenna_pirate-3388557The Tenna (which, as previously mentioned, is the rarest petpet) is worth 20 points more than the Snowbunny in each level. In the first level, it gives 35 points; in the final level, it gives 70. Obviously, this is the most desirable petpet to get.

 

Final Tips

 

There are two things you need to do to get a high score: get high-scoring petpets, and be able to use the right cannon angles and power. To get the angle, you can use something near your cannon as a reference point for aiming, and then just try to measure with your eyes how much power you’ll need to get it into the bucket. Practice will help you with that.

 

Once you’re pretty good at Petpet Cannonball (able to regularly pass through all eight levels), to get a high score you should purposefully miss all of the shots with petpets with light weights. The more petpets you shoot into the bucket that weigh more, the better your odds are of getting a high score.

Neopets Ultimate Bullseye II

Ultimate Bullseye II follows on from the popular Ultimate Bullseye. The story is based on the infamous Turtum and his ballista, which is used to shoot at targets on the game. In Ultimate Bullseye II, you have just ten shots to get the highest score possible.

Ultimate Bullseye II Controls

In this game, you use three keys – the up key, the down key, and the space bar. The up key is used to direct the arrow up and the down key directs the arrow down. Your aim is to focus the arrow on the target and to hit it. The space bar is used to shoot at the target; holding it down will boost the power of the ballista.

The amount of power you have can be measured using the bullseye picture in the lower left side of the game, labelled ‘Power’. It is shown in yellow; the more yellow that is showing, the more power you have for shooting.

Points are assigned depending on where you shoot on the board:

  • If you miss the board or you only hit the wood around the board, you get 0 points.
  • If you hit the outside red ring, you get one point.
  • If you hit the next white ring in from this, you get two points.
  • If you hit the middle red ring, you get three points.
  • Hitting the white ring around the bullseye gets you 5 points.
  • Finally, the bullseye will get you 10 points.

The ballista can be adjusted by moving the up arrow and down arrow keys appropriately to aim at the bullseye. Once you believe you’re targeted at the right position, hold down the space bar key. The more you hold it down, the further you build up the power of the ballista. You will need to judge this appropriately depending on how near or far the target is. Once you think you’ve held down the space bar for the appropriate length of time, let go of the space bar to release the arrow!

screenshot_fullsize_903_1_v1-6501280

Ultimate Bullseye II Game Play

In every game of Ultimate Bullseye II, you have ten shots. Within this time, you have to achieve as high a score as possible.

The best way to do this, in terms of aiming the ballista, is to aim slightly higher above the bullseye on the board. By aiming higher, you will be more likely to hit the target.

Once you’ve determined the angle of the shot, it’s time for the harder part: figuring out how much power you need in order to hit the target! Deciding how much power you’re going to use depends on the distance you are from the target. The further you are from the board, the more power you will need in order to hit it (i.e. the longer you’ll need to hold down the space bar). However, don’t hold it down for too long! You can easily miss your target from estimating this wrongly. It will take a lot of practice in order to estimate this correctly. For the most part, unless your ballista is very far from the target, you won’t need to hold down the space bar for more than half of the power meter.

If you hit the bullseye at any point, you will be awarded not only the 10 points, but also a power-up. If your final shot of the game hits the bullseye, you will be awarded an additional three shots (for the first time only).

903_sv83bw-6297963

Power-ups

There are a number of power ups you can use to improve your game play and to improve your overall score.

  • The first type of power up is the bouncing bull. This power up will make the target decrease and increase in size over and over again. This can work very well, as it means you have a chance of hitting the bullseye when it’s increased in size. If you hit the rings whilst this happens, you will get a power up.

  • The second type of power up is the fire hoop. This creates a hoop of fire between the ballista and the target board. If you manage to shoot your arrow through this hoop, and successfully hit the board, you’ll get double the points for whatever section you’ve landed your arrow on. For example, the bullseye would be 10 x 2.

  • The third type is the moving target. With this challenge, the board will move right and left, meaning it is difficult to hit the board. Once you’ve mastered this, you’ll get a power up from this.

  • The fourth type is the three shots power up. On this one, when you shoot from the ballista, you’ll have three arrows leave the ballista at once, rather than just one. Although the first and third arrow will hit different places, the one in the middle will hit the target just the way it would if it was the only arrow being shot. This bonus can help to hit other obstacles during the game, such as balloons or hoops.

  • The inverted target will reverse the number of points that each section of the board is worth. For example, the wood around the target is now equivalent to 10 points, instead of 0 points. The bullseye is also worth 0 points now, instead of 10 points. The inside rings are also all inverted as well. This power up is useful because it means that you can aim at a much larger target (the wood), and be more likely to achieve a high amounts of points.

Ultimate Bullseye II Bonus Points

screenshot_fullsize_152_3_v1-3396411
In Ultimate Bullseye II, as you progress through the game, you’ll quickly find that there are more things that can be hit than just the board! There are three random events that can happen: the red balloon (or the Meridell Balloon), the yellow balloon (or the King Hagan balloon) and the Punchbag Bob. These can happen at different times, or can even on rare occasion happen all at once.

If you hit the red balloon, but not the target, you will get just 5 points. If you hit the red balloon as well as the target, you will win 30 points, added onto whatever amount of points you have won on the board (e.g. if you hit the red ball and the bullseye, you’ll get 30 + 10 = 40). This means that if you hit the balloon as well as the target, you could get anywhere from 30 – 40 points depending on where the arrow lands.

If you hit the yellow balloon with King Hagan on it, you will get 10 points if you hit the balloon but not the target. However, if you manage to hit the balloon plus the target, you will be awarded 35 points – and again, you’ll also win the amount of points for whatever section of the target you land on. This means you can win anywhere between 35 – 45 points if you hit both the balloon and somewhere on the board.

If you’re lucky enough to get both balloons at the same time, and manage to hit them both whilst your arrow lands on the target (rare, but possible!) you could get anywhere from 65 to 75 points just from this alone.

If you hit Punchbag Bob when he appears and replaces the target, you will get only 5 points. The best place to hit is the apple on his head. If you hit this, you’ll win 20 points. So it’s best to try and aim at the apple first if you can, but remember that even hitting Punchbag Bob will get points too. Whilst Punchbag Bob is in play, you can’t use any of your power ups – they will return to your inventory if you try to use them whilst he is on the screen.

Even more lucky, but very rare, is getting both balloons as well as the apple on Punchbag Bob’s head – 85 points for all of this together!

Ultimate Bullseye II Neopets Ultimate Bullseye II Cheats

This section will look at some of the cheat codes you can use on Ultimate Bullseye II, as well as some cheat tips that will help you get through the game.

  • While you are in play during the game, type in ‘catapult’. If you type this, you will be awarded a powerup that is generated randomly. You can only type this code in once per game, so use it wisely!
  • Remember that you don’t have to use the powerup that you receive – if you’re not a fan of a particular powerup or if you don’t think it will benefit your overall score, then you don’t have to use it. This is important!
  • This particularly applies for the Moving Target and the Bouncing Bull power ups, due to them moving side to side which makes them difficult to hit. However, if you think you have a chance at hitting any of the rings, then definitely go for using the power up and chancing the shot – because if you do manage to hit the target in anyway, you can get a second, perhaps better, power up. Keep this in mind when you’re deciding whether to sacrificing your Bouncing Bull or Moving Target power up.
  • The Fire Hoop power up is a particularly useful power up for achieving the avatar. The combination of using fire hoops as well as shooting at bonus balloons is your best opportunity at casually getting the avatar.
  • The use of the Three Shots power up is fantastic to use when there’s a balloon or even two balloons in play, as you’ll have a better chance of hitting the balloon along with the target in the same shot. However, it’s difficult to estimate when the balloon will appear and is down to luck whether this happens at once!
  • When you use the Moving Target power up, you will notice that the power meter grows faster than normal. Therefore, be careful on how much power you’re using when this power up is in play. You may also notice the power meter growing quickly when using a lot of power ups, or when the balloons are on screen.
  • If you use the Inverted Target power up at the same time as the Three Shots power up on your final shot of the game, you’ll have a much better chance at achieving the three extra shots available on the final shot, and therefore at extending your game play!
  • Another tip for the end of the game is to focus on at least getting the inverted bullseye power up for the end. In order to do this, you can keep resetting your game and using the catapult cheat code at the beginning until you have an inverted bullseye power up stored away from the very beginning of the game. This means you’ll definitely have a strong chance at getting those important three extra shots at the end of the game.
  • If you get the Three Shots power up, it is best to fire at a higher angle than normal in order to get the best chance of hitting the board.
  • Depending on your style of game play, you may find it easier to keep the ballista exactly in the same position, and to only move it if there are balloons involved in the game to shoot at.
  • Try to always hit balloons as well as the target, because this will get you the largest amount of points you can score.
  • Keep practicing in order to master this game – it won’t take long to become well adjusted at figuring out how to hit the bullseye and the target board, as well as how to use the amount of powerups involved. It will take several times as well as likely several days in order to get adjusted to the controls and the method.
  • The best way to guarantee a good score from the beginning is not to move the catapult at all and to aim at shooting approximately half power. This should have the strongest chance of hitting the targets on the screen. Once you’ve got the hang of this, decrease or increase your power accordingly based on where on the screen the target is.
  • When there are balloons on screen, use the up arrow carefully, tapping it about 2 to 5 times based on how high or low the balloon is. Keep your power at around half of the meter. If you’re not sure, commonly the best way of hitting both the balloon and the target at the same time is to tape the up arrow key twice to hit the red balloons, or four times to hit the yellow balloons, whilst generally keeping the power meter mid way.
  • If you use one of the power ups that change the size, or one of the power ups that move on the screen, and you hit the target ANYWHERE (except the wood), you’ll get an extra power up. Keep this in mind as it will get you through the game, no matter what power up you’re using!

Neopets Sutek’s Tomb

Sutek’s Tomb is a game where you must swap two adjacent tiles at a time by clicking on them. You can get points by lining up three, four or five tiles in a row at the same time, as well as bonus points for arranging combinations. Sutek’s Tomb is a slow-paced game where it is easy to make a lot of neopoints quickly if done right.

Sutek’s Tomb is based on the story of an ancient Geb named Sutek, who was stronger than any other Geb, and acknowledged for his fitness and wisdom. After he died, a tomb was built (referred to as a Gebmid) which was the same size as him. Sutek was the first ancient Geb to have a Gebmid made for him, although there are many in the Lost Desert now. In order to prevent anyone obtaining Sutek’s riches and treasures, a lock was placed on the tomb. Patterns were decorated on the door, and anyone who could discover the pattern for opening the tomb would win his treasures.

Sutek’s Tomb How to play

The goal of the game is to switch around blocks two at a time, in order to arrange patterns of the same symbol. The length of the rows can be three, four or five long, with three bringing in the least points and five bringing in the most. The amount of points you can achieve from these combos is based on which mode you’re in.

The controls for this game are very simple! Switch around the blocks by clicking on one of the blocks, and then clicking on the one you want to change it with.

In order for the switch to be successful, they must firstly be adjacent i.e. next to each other. Secondly they must lead to a final row that has three, four or five of the same hieroglyphic/type of block; if not, they will change back to their original places straight away.

Once a combo of three or more has been made, the blocks lined up will disappear. New blocks will fall down from overhead in order to replace the gap.

Sutek’s Tomb Game Play

 

Easy Mode

In the easy mode, you will get the following points for each combination that is formed:

  • Three blocks will give you 3 points.
  • Four blocks will give you 9 points.
  • Five blocks will give you 21 points.

It’s easy to see that lining up more blocks when possible, particularly five, will give you a strong advantage in terms of total points.

In easy mode, there are also five different types of block:

  • Geb
  • Crystal
  • Palm tree
  • Sun
  • Desert
  • Head (of a Desert Blumaroo)

The grid size is 8 x 8, which makes 64 blocks on the screen at any one time.
Hard Mode

In this mode, you get the following number of points for the following line ups:

  • Three blocks will give you 10 points.
  • Four blocks will give you 30 points.
  • Five blocks will give you 70 points.

On this mode there are two extra types of symbol:

  • Scarab
  • Coltzan’s Shrine

This means that there are a total of 7 types of symbols available in hard mode.

The size of the game in this mode is 10 x 10, meaning there is 100 blocks on the screen at a time.

aim_sutek-4186914

Zen Mode

In Zen Mode, there is no time limit to any level. However, no matter what combo type you make (even a bonus combo), you will only ever get one point.

There are 7 types of symbols (all of those that are found in Hard Mode). The grid is also 10 x 10, like in Hard Mode, with 100 blocks on the screen.

 

On both the easy mode and the hard mode, the time limit is one minute. Every time that points are gained from a 4 or 5 combo, a small number of seconds can be gained back onto the total time. Therefore, if you play quickly, you can keep playing for a very long time – as long as you don’t ever lose time by looking for the next combination.

 

Sutek’s Tomb Types of Special Symbols

There are seven types of symbol, as discussed above. Alongside this, there are another five types of symbols that can be found on the blocks. These are as follows:

  • Bomb
  • Hand-painted scarab
  • Lucky coin
  • ‘Good luck’ ankh
  • Face of the Phantom Orange Shirt Guy

Bomb  

The bomb will blow up the entire column above if the symbol falls for more than a single block’s space. Depending on how far the bomb is down the column, points will be won accordingly.

If a bomb reaches the bottom of the screen, it will disappear, but will give you 5 points automatically once it disappears.

Bombs can be lined up with other bombs, just like the other symbols, and will give points accordingly for three or more of them in a line.

 

Lucky Coin   

The lucky coin is a symbol that can be matched to any other symbol in order to make a combo. For example, it can be joined with the Head, the Sun, the Desert etc. in three, four or five combos. They are therefore the wild card in the game, which can be incredibly useful. These are great for making the larger combos, particularly five in a row. They are also best saved for later on when your time is running out or you’re in trouble.
Hand-Painted Scarab

The hand-painted scarab are another type of bomb symbol. However, these don’t explode in the same way the Bomb does. They only explode once they come to the bottom of the grid. Once this happens, the whole column is blown up. This will automatically give you 100 points to your score.

Good Luck Ankh

The Good Luck Ankh are also another type of Bomb. They work in a similar way to the Hand Painted Scarab in that they explode once they reach the bottom of the screen. However, they not only explode the column above, but they also explode the row. This awards you 200 points to your overall score.

 

The Phantom Orange Shirt Guy’s Face

This symbol explodes when it reaches the bottom row, like the Hand painted Scarab and the Good Luck Ankh. The Phantom Orange Shirt Guy’s Face explodes the entire grid of blocks, as part of the Magic Face Combo. This will award an entire 500 points to your score.

Frequency of Symbols

The Phantom Orange Shirt Guy’s Face, the Hand Painted Scarabs and the Good Luck Ankh do not appear very often at all in the game; they are very rare. They can give a very large boost to your overall score. However, don’t get distracted when they appear! If you don’t focus on the normal symbols and the overall combinations, you may run out of time.
Multiple Combinations

Multiple Combinations take place if a combination is made during the course of another combination disappearing off the screen i.e. it happens without the tiles being changed around, and just as a result of tiles falling down the screen after a combination being awarded. In the case of multiple combinations, you are given twice the number of points that you would from a normal combination. This can lead to a chain reaction in that you can get multiple combinations that lead to another multiple combination (three times the number of points as usual), and so on.

A good tip is to learn to see where multiple combinations may happen, and therefore create chain reactions on purpose. This comes more easily after a lot of time spent on the game. For example, if you explode the bombs at the bottom, symbols are likely to fall down and create multiple combinations.

Note that multiple combinations do not happen in zen mode however; zen mode is a very different way of playing than easy mode or hard mode.

Running out of Moves

If you run out of moves, don’t worry too much as the board will regenerate and all the pieces will be reshuffled, creating new ways for combinations being made. However, if you reshuffle, any special icons that are on the screen will disappear. This also leads to your current score being lost in Zen mode. So keep an eye on the reshuffles so you don’t lose your icons.

Neopets Sutek’s Tomb Cheats

 

– The game can be paused at any point. Just click on the hourglass that is on the right hand side of the screen. However, you can only have three pauses in a game.

– In order to see the game’s suggestion for the next move, type in the word ‘pyramibread’. This can be done as many times as you like.

– If you find that your time is running low and you need more, type ‘plzsutekcanihavemoretime’. This will give you 30 more seconds and can be played at any point in the game. However, it can only be played once. A great way to do this is to pause the game and then to type almost the full code e.g. ‘plzsutekcanihavemoretim’ and then to add the extra ‘e’ once you’ve unpaused the game. This means you don’t have to lose any time at all by typing the game.

– The same rule applies for the word ‘scarabeus’. You can again only use this once a game.

– Either of these cheats can be typed at the start of the game. Then all you need to do is add the last letter when you want to use the code.

– It’s very important to keep your eye on the amount of icons and combinations left if you have special icons on the board. This is because every special icon will be removed once the board reshuffles.

– When the board reshuffles, a little tip is that the timer has a slight pause before the game play continues. This means you have a slight break to look over the board and see how it is laid out before continuing, meaning you can locate possible combinations before starting to form them.

– You’ll realise when you’re playing that a tile can be used in not just one combo, but can also be used in two. So if you have a ‘L’ shape, for example, with five tiles lined up in total, this will be counted as two sets of three. In hard mode, this means you’ll get 20 points (10 x 2).

– You should concentrate on making matches fast, even if they are only 3 at a time. It’s important to stay in the game, rather than spend time thinking about combinations.

– You should also focus on making horizontal matches where possible, rather than vertical, as this leads to more changes on the board (as more columns fall) and therefore more potential for points.

– If you are very close to making a new high score or getting a score for the avatar (2000 points) and starting to get nervous, a great tip is to screenshot the game (using the Print Screen button on the keyboard) and then quickly pause the game. Check the screenshot in something like Paint, and you can see where the best combinations are, and you might even find some 4 or 5 tile combinations to get extra points. As said, because this takes a lot of time, this is only really useful if you’re at a high score and want to keep up your current game, or perhaps if you’re at a part where you want to analyse a screen and look for combinations (or lack of combinations) when you have a special icon up. And remember – you only get three times to pause.

– It helps to make combos near the bottom of the board, as more symbols will fall down the columns meaning more opportunity for new combinations.

-It is best to focus on playing hard mode, rather than easy. This way you can get the most points through special symbols and combinations.

– If you ever happen to get the symbol of the Phantom Orange Shirt Guy, type ‘note’ and the symbol will drop down to the bottom of the screen, earning you the 500 points.

– A little easter egg is to go into the instructions, where you will see four pyramids. There are three small ones and one large one. If you press on the door of the small pyramid that is closest to the mute button, Oliver will pop up again.

– Sometimes pyramibread is too slow to type in. Another way of getting it to show up, depending on your keyboard, is to press the mute button or the home button. This will show the next move in the same way as pyramibread. You can score huge amounts of points in the game from this cheat.
